Genetic testing is available to find out whether a person carries a translocation. A simple blood test is done, and cells from the blood are examined in a laboratory to look at the arrangement of the chromosomes. This is called a karyotype test. It is also possible to do a test during pregnancy to find out whether a baby has a chromosome translocation. This is called prenatal diagnosis and is something you may wish to discuss with your genetic specialist.
